Yes I made them the exact same angle. It fits nicely in there.

I will snap a picture for ya

Pictures of the pillar bars at the windshield.

There pretty close to the same angle, I guess there not exactly the same there is few degrees difference. I like it though.

i think the way we figured it out the first time was like 28 degree bend at the windshield and we just went ahead and bent it 30

Lookin good man. Did you have any trouble clearing anything behind the dash. On Mikes we found out when we put a 5 deg. bend forward in the legs about 10 in. below the top of the dash everything seemed to fit a little better and made some more leg room.

Thanks for the advice, Mine cleared without issue, I have no air ducts in the way, but we are going to be doing Kyle's (wrangler00) next and he has to maintain the air ducts due to it being his DD

Hmm. I don't know how I would do that. I don't have a bender

 

[burrellsjeep]

Sorry I have you mixed up with someone else.

 

[burrellsjeep]

Well I got one more of the spreaders in on the front of the cage, Just got to get the driver side done and I can move on the rear, Didn't have allot of time today, To much honey do stuff.

I will snap a pic later.

 

[burrellsjeep]

Well I was able to get the rest of the front of the cage bent up and fitted today, Half of it welded up, Just need to hit a few joints around the windshield. The front was slow going on the welding, I learned it is well worth the extra effort get a nice fit in a joint (Compound joints at that), I had some spots that were wider than I would have wanted so it took a little longer to fill the gap. I guess you live and learn and I am, But I am getting better at my welds. Got the rear upper cross bar bent and welded in. Just need to bend the rear spreaders and add some braces in the rear and It will be ready for some paint. I am really digging how it is turning out.

Here are some updated pictures.

One of my ugly welds, But there getting better

Tell me what you think?

 

[MarsFab]

If the weather holds I plan to finish this weekend, and get some paint on it.

 

[wrangler00]

We can start yours when there is paint on mine. The wife will only allow one half torn apart jeep in the garage at once

 

[burrellsjeep]

Ok here's the Deal,

The wife has givin me Saturday (Whole day) to finish this cage. So if anyone wants to help let me know, I will start as early as possible on Saturday, But most of my help may show up around 9am.

So if anyone is interested in helping out I will have free beer and food.

I have to finish it this weekend, I also need a 1.5 Dia for a JDS 2, I anyone has one they can bring. I have to return my bender I have on loan from a buddy Monday also.

 

[burrellsjeep]

Oh and we got to bend up some tube for Kyle's also, But his will be allot simpler than mine was.

 

[burrellsjeep]

So no takers??
